ABOUT ME
I Believe In,
My work is rooted in small-town values: integrity, hard work, and taking care of your people, combined with years of experience in crisis response, corrections, hospital settings, and community mental health. When things feel chaotic, I bring calm. When decisions are complex, I bring clarity. And when people feel stuck, I help them move forward with purpose.
Steady Leadership, Honest Conversations,
& Showing Up When It Matters Most.
Professional Experience
& Systems Leadership
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Addiction Counselor based in Colorado, currently serving as a Behavioral Health Provider in a county jail setting and working in substance use treatment in the community.
My Background Includes:
Crisis Response & Crisis Response Program Development
Hospital Admissions
Corrections
Community Mental Health
Leadership Within Multidisciplinary Teams.
The crisis response program I helped develop has received both local and national recognition for its design and execution, reflecting what can happen when strong systems and strong relationships work together.
Over the past eight years, I’ve worked in high-pressure environments where steady clear communication, and ethical decision-making matters every single day.
Teaching, Supervision
& Clinical Philosophy
I am also a PhD candidate in Counselor Education and Supervision, with a passion for strengthening the bridge between mental health, public safety, and public policy. I teach, supervise, and train with the same philosophy I bring into counseling: do good work, do it with integrity, and take care of your people.
My clinical foundation is grounded in solution-focused and narrative approaches. I believe people are more than the hardest chapter of their story. Whether I’m walking alongside someone in crisis, mentoring a new counselor, or training law enforcement officers or new clinicians, my goal is the same: bring clarity, offer steady leadership, and help people build practical tools for lasting change.
Around Here, I Value
Honesty, Compassion, & Community.
If you’re looking for counseling, consultation, or training that feels grounded, capable, and most of all personal, I would love the opportunity to work with you!
